The Civil Air Patrol in Pennsylvania has been doing the same thing as the Army Experience for years in PAWG encampments, even though the CAP Congressional charter forbids CAP to have a combat orientation. Children as young as 12 years old are being trained by regular military and Army National Guard personnel to operate military weapons. CAP even has its own combat orientation course as seen on the internet. The CAP mission is that of a non-combat humanitarian nature as directed by their constitution, by-laws and Congressional charter and yet many of the Wings across the US are intentionally orientating children to the military and placing military weapons in the hands of 12 year olds. CAP even recruits our elected officials into their own Legislative Branch giving then officers ranks as high as Major to become a member. I wished some of these protestors would start going after and stopping the militarization of our innocent youth in CAP and JROTC. If you don't stop the abuse of our children in these organizations killing the AEC won't matter. CAP senior members take a course in Child Protection and then abuse the children in their care while denying parents the right to be fully informed of all CAP training.Mon, 30 May 2011 04:11:59 -0400Concerned parenthttp://peoplesworld.org/hundreds-protest-philadelphia-army-experience-center/#PageComment_16339
